My sense of the Arab Spring is that it was an anti-Iranian campaign with Gulf Arabs-Saudi, Qatari interests playing a big role, along with the Neocons in the US-all known as supporters of Israel and strong vocal opponents of Iran.

The Turks were also involved since Erdogan was a big promoter of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi in Egypt and the Turks are now meddling in Syria.

The Turks under Erdogan have had rough moments with Israel but the original Jewish setters of the modern era were Turkish subjects and Ben Gurion studied in Istanbul.

The Turks are sending fire fighting aircraft to assist Israel with the brushfires.

Perhaps the Anti-Semitism of the Brotherhood is window dressing for the masses of people.

The whole Arab Spring thing including the Syrian Civil War benefits Israel by isolating Iran and giving the anti-Iranian Saudi-Qatari-Turkish interests dominance of the region.

I think you need to pay a bit more attention. The neo-Jacobin wing of neoconservatives were screaming "Islamophobia" at Michelle Bachmann and others who brought up the terrorist history of the Muslim Brotherhood, Huma Abedin's past, and the Obama-Clinton-McCain treason vis a vis the Islamist Spring.

These idiots believe(d) that dictatorship radicalized Muslims and that anyone oppose the dictators, whether they were anti-American socialists or the Muslim Brotherhood should be supported.

Whatever political delusion or mental illness took hold of them, their tactics and strategy were objectively anti-Israel. As for Iran, Egypt was an opponent of Iran. Iran was happy to work with the Muslim Brotherhood in the past.

Erdogan wants to have European and American support. Stopping fires taht hurt Arabs and Jews is a smart move. But it isn't about Israel. It is about international support, even as Turkey threatens to send a new wave of Islamic settlers/"refugees" into Europe, if the EU rejects Erdogan's Turkey. The whole Arab Spring thing including the Syrian Civil War benefits Israel by isolating Iran and giving the anti-Iranian Saudi-Qatari-Turkish interests dominance of the region.

The Sunnis are losing in Turkey. Iran took over Yemen. Iran is developing nuclear weapons shielded by Obama and Putin. Some loss.

I called this BS 4 years ago. http://nycright.blogspot.com/2012/02/best-way-to-stop-iranian-nuclear-weapon.html
